Sometimes, Paxlovid allows for a temporary reduction in symptoms and then the symptoms return. Sometimes, this doesn’t happen and the recovery continues until all the symptoms resolve. There is no way to know which way it will go for an individual person. But, if the symptoms return, treat the symptoms-acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fever/body aches, etc. Either way, it will get better. Good luck!
